Mistakes ||Sequel to Party||

Charlie's POV:
I try desperately for minutes to wake him up, but he just lies there. Is this normal? I turn around and grab my phone from the bedside table. I consider if I should call 911 or Harvey.... 911. I quickly type in the number as I look down at my little baby. He's breathing really heavily and moves strangely. He whimpers once in a while. It's like he can't wake up or something. I've heard about that. I think it's called 'sleep paralysis'.

I hear the signals and the time seems to go really slowly, maybe 'cause I'm so worried. I stand up from the bed and walk around the bed. I turn back around to Leo and let out a small scream. He's now sitting up, staring at something in front of him. Now his eyes are open. I get really scared, we probably shouldn't have watched that horror movie a few days ago.

"Leo?" I ask slowly and sit down beside him.

"Charlie?" I suddenly hear him answer. I quickly cancel the call and look at him. He looks back at me with tears in his eyes. I can't really tell if he's awake or not so I decide to ask a stupid question.
"What's the most annoying thing about me?" I ask, since I always ask this to see if he's awake.
"This stupid question to see if I'm awake." Leo answers and I can tell he's awake.

I put away my phone and look back at Leo. He looks down at his hands that are placed on the blanket over his legs.
"I'm sorry." He says suddenly and slowly looks up at me.
"For what?" I ask confused.
"Everything." Leo answers and I pull him into a tight hug.

"You haven't done anything." I reply and pull away from the hug to look him in the eyes. He looks down at his hands again.
"Yes, I have." He says and that's when I remember that I thought he was cheating on me. Has he really done that?
"Like what?"

Leo crawls past me and stands up from the bed.

"Leo?" I say, but he ignores me and walk out of the bedroom. I stay where I sit for a while to take everything in. Then I put on some clothes and walk out of the still pretty dark bedroom. I find Leo sitting at the dinner table with his head in his hands.
"What have you done?" I ask calmly and look at him.

"I-I can't tell you..." He sobs without looking up at me. I feel the tears in my eyes as I realize that I must be right. So I decide to just ask him.
"Have you been cheating on me?" I ask, trying to hold back the tears and he quickly looks up at me. I see the worry in his eyes, but he doesn't answer. Fuck. I take a last look at him and then walk back into the bedroom.

"No, Charlie!" I hear Leo behind me, but I don't care. I grab my phone from the bed and pull it into my pocket. I turn on the lights and find a bag in Leo's wardrobe. I take some of his clothes and shove them into the bag. "Charlie, I haven't been cheating on you. For God's sake!"

I let go of the bag and turn around to him.

"Then tell me." I say, looking straight into his eyes. Leo looks down at the floor and I sigh. "You've been so distant lately. You never tell me anything and it seems like you're keeping secrets behind my back. I don't know what to think anymore!"

"But just trust me-" He starts, but I cut him off.
"If you won't tell me, then I'm afraid I can't trust you." I reply and take up the bag again. I continue to pack his clothes, but just to stress him this time.

Leondre's POV:
I follow Charlie into the bedroom, I can't let him think I've been cheating on him.
"Just trust me-" I start, but he cuts me off.
"If you won't tell me, then I'm afraid I can't trust you." He says and take up my bag that he found in the wardrobe. He starts packing my clothes and I don't know what to do. I guess I just have to tell him about the dreams. I just hoped I wouldn't have to tell him.

"Okay, okay. Fine." I say and he looks up at me. Our eyes meet and I see that he has tears in his eyes. "I'll tell you."
